Transition from Thesaurus:
I am still learning how to best locate the right word, since it's organized according to subject, it's a whole new process for word search - altho, it's great for browsing!
I bought the small paperback and think a larger version may have been smarter for a first time user. I love the concept and will continue to work with it - for now, after my thesaurus.
Useful reference rendered almost useless by small typeface:
Were it not for the small typeface (perhaps between 4 and 6 points)in the paperback version, this would be a useful reference. It is unique in that it is a hybrid of dictionary and thesaurus. Words are contained in 25 chapters, with headings such as Cognition, Performing Arts, Clothing, Human Body an so on. Look up Abe Lincoln under Beards and Mustaches in the Human Body chapter and you learn the term refers to a "thin beard along jaw with mustache shaved". Now that's something I didn't know.... more info
Indispensable:
As an advertising copywriter, Word Menu and the Synonym Finder have been my two greatest resources. Highly Recommended.
Word Menu Is Perfect For Writers Of All Genres:
Word Menu is an invaluable source for writers, especially poets, as it has categories of all sorts and vast lists of descriptions, images,and details. It was recommended to me by another poet, and I use this book by Stephen Glazier to enhance all writing. Much better than a thesaurus or a dictionary.
